Sanket Kamthe, a third-year PhD student of Statistical Machine Learning in the Department of Computing, has been awarded a JP Morgan PhD Fellowship.
Sanket’s research is focusing on reinforcement learning for robotics and control for his PhD. He is particularly interested in safe model-based reinforcement learning, where the agent learns to perform tasks while being aware of risks and uncertainties. He primarily works with Gaussian processes for modeling system dynamics.
